George Lynch was recently on Eddie Trunk’s radio show talking about how Tim Lambesis of As I Lay Dying has been released from prison and apparently has a “mega-record deal” and “book deal” all lined up. Alternative Press was able to confirm Lambesis’s release from jail: When AP reached out to the California Department Of Corrections And Rehabilitation to find out if Lambesis was still interred in a California prison, a representative confirmed that he was discharged Dec. 17, 2016. He was discharged to the Division of Adult Parole Operations.

Run for Cover Records will be donating 25 cents for every website order over the next year to a charitable organization: In the wake of repeated harmful speech and actions by the Trump administration, we at Run For Cover feel compelled to use the platform you’ve afforded us to help protect the rights of marginalized people, raise awareness of injustice, and defend human rights in any way we can. Like many of our artists and colleagues, we’ve raised both money and awareness for worthy causes over the past few months in an effort to fight back against our failing political leadership, but we can always do more. Matt Pryor’s new song “Mary” can be streamed below. Palm Trees & Power Lines have released a video for “Can’t Even.” Matt Pond PA has released a video for “Force of Nature.” Stephen Witt interviewed Amazon’s Jeff Bezos and Steve Boom about Amazon Music, the music industry, and the Echo’s roll in the future: If you’re asking people to pay for streaming music in a world where there are a lot of free alternatives, then you need to build a service that they want to use every day.

And that’s one of the beauties of this device. What we are seeing is that people are listening to more music than ever: we see from data, and we hear anecdotally from customers. Since I have the Echo in my kitchen, my living room, my bedroom, the kids’ room, we’re listening to more music than we were listening to in the pastnike tech fleece hoodie femme Ryan Adams has penned a new op-ed for The New York Times:xerox hoodie By the time I got there, I was so angry. nomex hoodieI felt humiliated, but what else could be done? vfiles hoodiesEither way I had lost something. realtree camo hoodie wholesale

Unlike a more seasoned comic or musician, I didn’t have the experience to ignore a situation like this, or to use wit to turn it around. I felt a kind of disappointment and disillusionment that I had never known — and it was in front of a thousand-plus people.lecturer hoodie Hmm, it looks like there’s some movement in the Eighteen Visions camp.mmf hoodie Universal Music Group will manage Prince’s vault of unreleased music. As expected, the Universal Music Group has announced a multi-year agreement with Prince’s estate and NPG Records, granting the major label group exclusive licensing rights to much of the late artist’s catalog of released and unreleased works. Much of the material dates from the latter part of Prince’s career, after he parted ways with Warner Bros. Records in 1996. Sufjan Stevens has written an op-ed for The Washington Post:

A “Christian Nation” is absolutely heretical. Christ did not come into this world to become a modifier. Look what happened to the Holy Roman Empire. Jesus said you must hate your mother and father and love your enemies. This is not obtuse provocation, but it’s spiritual deployment of true identity, which no longer resides in skin color combination, ideology, genealogy, name, people, places and things, but in the brotherhood and sisterhood of all humankind, which is ruled by love at any cost. Meat Wave have released a new video for “Run You Out.” Rivers Cuomo of Weezer and Scott Murphy of Allister will once again be teaming up for an album. It looks like Taking Back Sunday’s self-titled album will be coming to vinyl on March 3rd. The Dirty Nil have signed with Fat Wreck Chords. They will be releasing a compilation album of the band’s back catalog called Minimum R&B on April 28th. Less Than Jake have released a video for “Bomb Drop.” Andrew McMahon is an artist who has had a very loyal and passionate following for a very long time.

Starting with Something Corporate, which offered a piano-led twist on the emo/pop-punk trends of the early 2000s, McMahon has been regarded as a master of melody and a writer capable of churning out fiercely relatable songs. Suffice to say that BuzzFeed hit the nail on the head (for the first and last time) when it labeled “Konstantine” as the emo “Freebird.” When McMahon transitioned his career from Something Corporate into the poppier and more mature Jack’s Mannequin, it was a testament to his talent as a songwriter, his likability as a performer, and the strong personal resonance of his work that just about all of his fans were willing to go along for the ride. Basement have released a new live video for “Promise Everything.” It looks like Chvrches have begun working on their third album. smells like the only nirvana song you know nirvana tshirt blue white i only fuck feminists black high waisted pants black and white dress american flag crop top
